It definitely doesn't count as co-op...! Why would you even want to go through that with me...
I'll be there to keep you company, Idia-senpai. Think of it as... what would you call it... Ah, a co-op event!

Oh, I'm doomed. I don't want to leave my room... Will Ortho allow it if I attend in tablet mode? Muri, muri... no way he'll let me....
Ah, I know! I only have to fake being ill. That will definitely work.

Are you right in the head...? Enjoying my company and listening to me talk... even playing games...?
Ehhh? I enjoy your company. Like listening to you talk about your interests and playing games with you.
Define like spending time with me.

Isn't that obvious? Cause I like spending time with you.
..... Befriend me.

..... Befriend me.
Do what?
Why would you do this to yourself....
..... Befriend me.
Why would you do this to yourself....
You know, friends! A person you have affection for. Someone you like enough to hang out with.
That's what you do with your oshi... does that even work with fri—? W-Wait, what do you mean friends?!

Why would I be afraid? I'd rather play something more interesting for a competition, is all."
He's not happy hanging out. With anyone. That's why he never leaves his room!
❝Haven't you ever heard of a time trial, Idia-senpai? Whoever chooses the correct answers and wins over the love interest in the quickest time is the winner.
Or are you afraid to face me?❞
If she didn't know any better, she'd think he's not happy to hang out with her.
"Otome games don't have co-op mode, what are you even on about?"
A shake of his head.
"I don't see the bright sight of it."

❝That's right, Idia-senpai. I challenge you to a duel!
How about an otome game? Whoever has the highest score with the love interest wins.❞
Did her request for help really bother him that much?
❝Just >
"H-Huh?! Yurika-shi wants to play against me?"
That much he can tell.
"... Good."
"Otome games don't have co-op mode, what are you even on about?"
A shake of his head.
"I don't see the bright sight of it."
"H-Huh?! Yurika-shi wants to play against me?"
That much he can tell.
"... Good."
❝In that case, let's play against each other. The runner-up treats the winner!❞
It was an honest mistake. She totally thought it was broken.
❝Okay, okay! I promise I'll pay more attention.❞
"Whatever you say. I would disagree, though. Doing the combos right can make you invincible."
Idia let out a long sigh.
"Pay more attention the next time, Yurika-shi...."
"H-Huh?! Yurika-shi wants to play against me?"
That much he can tell.
"... Good."
"Whatever you say. I would disagree, though. Doing the combos right can make you invincible."
Idia let out a long sigh.
"Pay more attention the next time, Yurika-shi...."
❝I'll have you know that the button smashing strategy is foolproof. It's super reliable!❞
As she listened to his explanation, she nodded her head. Oh! With a laugh, she scratched the back of her neck.
❝Haha! >
"It is what it is. You wouldn't understand. Bet you'd only smash buttons without knowing what you're doing. Ah, so typical."
Palms facing upside as he shrugged, he shook his head. >

❝Obviously?! Hey, what does that mean?❞
With her eyebrows furrowed, she puffed out her cheeks in a pout.
❝If you can't fix it, then there's no hope...❞
He doesn't think that's quite the same as this.
Idia will have to talk about her about what's happening to her phone....
"O-Obviously you wouldn't understand... Still, there's no need for you >

But an otome scenario, huh? She's had plenty of friends visit her room at Ramshackle, though.
Upon seeing his reaction, she blinked. Is her phone camera beyond hope...?
❝I do! They're fun! Even though I don't >
Idia stared at the phone blankly, after seeing how the camera works / perfectly /.
"Do you even like those games...?"

❝I knew I could count on you! Here you go!❞
Pulling the phone from her pocket, she gave it to him.
❝Why don't we play that game you like afterwards? My way of saying >
Idia sighed.
"Let me see it... Maybe I have the parts to fix it."
Idia stared at the phone blankly, after seeing how the camera works / perfectly /.

Idia sighed.
"Let me see it... Maybe I have the parts to fix it."
Almost immediately, she walked into his room. This was something that had to be done face-to-face!
❝I think I broke the camera on my phone. It's just a blank screen...❞
In actuality, she had covered the lens without realising it.
Idia already recognised that voice. Why was she coming to his room? And this time, he couldn't escape by using the tablet.
So he had no choice but to open the door.
Idia sighed.

In a sing-song voice, Yurika called out to him. Despite the Ignihyde students having a reclusive nature, she didn't hesitate to enter their dorm.
❝I know you're in there. I'm not leaving until you open the door. I... I'll even sit on the floor!❞
Idia already recognised that voice. Why was she coming to his room? And this time, he couldn't escape by using the tablet.
So he had no choice but to open the door.
